Description

All the veggies in this salad - fresh corn, peppers, zucchini and onions - are chopped or diced, so the consistency is very much like salsa. Everything is sauteed in butter and then chilled, until ready to spoon onto a salad or into a warm tortilla with a dollop of sour cream.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
2 cups whole corn kernels, cooked
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cup chopped zucchini
2 green onions, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1/2 cup salsa
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

1 In a heavy large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the corn, bell pepper, zucchini, green onions and jalapeno pepper. Saute until vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and refrigerate vegetables until chilled.
2 Add salsa and chopped cilantro to vegetable mixture. Stir and season with salt and pepper to taste.
